Why I Love Pokémon TCG Pocket: The Perfect Game for a Casual Gamer

As someone in his 40s, finding time to game can be tricky. Between work, family, and everything else, I don't have hours to sink into the types of games I used to spend every evening playing. But Pokémon TCG Pocket has become my go-to game, and it's perfect for someone like me—a casual gamer with limited time but a love for TCG strategy games.

Starting the Day with a Pack

One of my favourite things about Pokémon TCG Pocket is opening packs. Every morning, when I first wake up and reach for my phone, I'll log in and tear open a couple of packs. The excitement of seeing what cards I get is honestly addictive. Whether it's a rare card I've been chasing or just a solid addition to my deck, it never gets old.

I didn't grow up during the Pokémon craze. In fact, I missed it altogether. I only got into Pokémon a few years ago when my young son started collecting the physical cards. Watching him get so excited about the game sparked my interest, and now it's something we share together.

Simple, Intuitive Design

The game's simple design is another reason I've fallen in love with it. It's simple, clean, and incredibly easy to pick up. Everything feels intuitive, from building decks to diving into a match.

As someone who appreciates a bit of polish, it's clear the developers put thought into making the game accessible for everyone, whether you're a seasoned player or a total beginner.

Gameplay That's Fun and Strategic

The gameplay strikes the perfect balance for me. Matches are quick but packed with strategic depth. It's satisfying to outmanoeuvre an opponent with a clever play or finally see your deck come together in action.

I can play a match or two in the evening without feeling like I'm falling behind or missing out. It's a game that respects my time, and you can put as much or as little as you want into it.

The Perfect Fit for a Casual Gamer

If you're like me—someone who wants to game but doesn't have endless hours to dedicate—give it a try. Whether it's the thrill of opening packs, the smooth design, or the strategic gameplay, there's something here for every casual gamer.
